Why Margo Robbie Wasn’t Nominated

January 26, 2024 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

Ghostbusters: Afterlife — Review

January 11, 2022 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

Shazam! – Review

April 4, 2019 By Mark Draughn 1 Comment

The first trailer for Shazam! came out eight months ago, and it looked like a pretty good movie. Unlike certain other DC superhero movies, it looked like the Shazam! filmmakers remembered that comics were supposed to be fun.https://youtu.be/go6GEIrcvFYI managed to catch one of the sneak preview showings of Shazam! last week, and I thought it lived up to the promise of … [Read more...] about Shazam! – Review
